Who directed all three Spider-Man films released from 2002 to 2007?

Sam Raimi directed all three Spider-Man films released from 2002 to 2007. The trilogy consists of Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007).

Raimi, an American filmmaker who first became known for The Evil Dead, brought a distinctive blend of energetic camera movement, comic-book framing, horror-influenced imagery, and emotional melodrama to the superhero films. His version of Spider-Man starred Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, and James Franco as Harry Osborn.

The three films were produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures and formed a continuous trilogy rather than separate reboots. Spider-Man introduced the Green Goblin, Spider-Man 2 centered on Doctor Octopus, and Spider-Man 3 featured Sandman, Venom, and Harry’s transformation into the New Goblin.

A frequent confusion is associating later Spider-Man films with Raimi. Marc Webb directed The Amazing Spider-Man films, while Jon Watts directed the first three MCU Spider-Man solo films.
